HC Deb 28 February 2000 vol 345 c153W
Mr. Field

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the suicide plus undetermined injury rate per 100,000 people in England based on a three-year average around(a) 1997 and (b) 1998. [109817]

Miss Melanie Johnson

The information requested falls within the responsibility of the Director of the Office for National Statistics. I have asked him to reply.

Letter from Tim Holt to Mr. Frank Field, dated 28 February 2000: As Director of the Office for National Statistics (ONS), I have been asked to reply to your recent question on suicides plus undetermined injury rate per 100,000 people in England. The European age standardised rate for the average of the years 1996 to 1998 for England is 9.2 suicides or undetermined injury deaths per 100,000 population. 1999 figures are not yet available and we are therefore unable to provide a three year average around 1998.
